ServisFirst Bancshares Stock Sinks 13% After 3Q Net Interest Income Sinks

The stock was down 13% to $46 in after-hours trading, following a 3.1% rise at Monday’s close. Shares have fallen 23% this year.

The Birmingham, Ala.-based regional bank reported net interest income of $99.7 million in the third quarter, compared with $126.4 million a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $102.5 million.

The company said its results were dented by narrowing of net interest spread as the Federal Reserve continued to raise interest rates.
